StructuredGrid.cell_centers(vertex=True, progress_bar=False)

Generate points at the center of the cells in this dataset.

These points can be used for placing glyphs or vectors.

Parameters

vertexbool

Enable or disable the generation of vertex cells.

progress_barbool, optional

Display a progress bar to indicate progress.

Returns

pyvista.PolyData

Polydata where the points are the cell centers of the original dataset.

Examples

>>> import pyvista
>>> mesh = pyvista.Plane()
>>> mesh.point_data.clear()
>>> centers = mesh.cell_centers()
>>> pl = pyvista.Plotter()
>>> actor = pl.add_mesh(mesh, show_edges=True)
>>> actor = pl.add_points(centers, render_points_as_spheres=True,
...                       color='red', point_size=20)
>>> pl.show()
